This chapter deals with your own safety and the safety of the equipment operators.
Please read this chapter carefully before working with the C4000 or with the machine
protected by the C4000.
2.1 Qualified safety personnel
The C4000 safety light curtain must be installed, connected, commissioned and serviced
only by qualified safety personnel. Qualified safety personnel are defined as persons
who …
due to their specialist training and experience have adequate knowledge of the power-
driven equipment to be checked
and
who have been instructed by the responsible machine operator in the operation of the
machine and the current valid safety guidelines
and
are sufficiently familiar with the applicable official health and safety regulations,
directives and generally recognized engineering practice (e.g. DIN standards, VDE
stipulations, engineering regulations from other EC member states) that they can
assess the work safety aspects of the power-driven equipment
and
who have access to these operating instructions and who have read them.
As a rule these are qualified safety personnel from the ESPE manufacturer or also those
persons who have been appropriately trained at the ESPE manufacturer, are primarily
involved in checking ESPE and are allocated the task by the organisation operating the
ESPE.
